Special TO the Gazette.
WASHINGTON March 2I.-The only alb
sOrbing topic IN Washington continues tC
be the personnel OF the Interstate COM
mission. Every man prominent 10 busi-
ness or political life who comes here is
at once seized upon as q certain candi-
date for place on the board, and he is
interviewed and pumped until he leaves
w. ". Grape of Massachusetts. who was
here or Saturday. it is learned to-day,
positively declined the prOfeT Of 8 place.
1t seems to be the settled conviction Of
every one that NewiEngland man is to
be chosen before the President can an
nOun"e the appointments. The latest 10
ne selected by common consent is Hon.
John w Gambler of Boston, who was
member Of the Furty-segenth Congress.
Mr. Gambler only served one term,
but during this service he made
an exceedingly valued member
of the commerce committee, which at
that time had charge of the river and
harbCr bill. He voted for the passage of
that bill over the veto Of President Ar
thur and that vote retired him 20 private
life. 1t is SAID tonight that Mr.. Gambler
can have place on The board if be will
accept
can be induced. So, with q Mdssachu-
sets man decided upon, the board viii
be practically complete, for although it
is said at the White House that only
three members have been definitely
chosen, it is understood that the fifth
man will come from New York, and that
the President has several good men in
that state from whom to choose, any one
Of whom h. knows will accent

A COURSE OF GYMNASTICS.
WASHINGTON, March 2l-Dr. Il. I.
Sewers, one OF the most prominent physi-
clans of Washington, in an interview with
a reporter declared there is danger that
President Cleveland will not live through
his term unless there is a change in his
mode of living DR.. Sewers, Six months
before Msnning's sickness, made the
same prediction with regard to the Secre-
tary and advised a friend TO warn
him of his danger. In an interview
to-day DR.. Sewers says: at may be
deemed Impertnent to talk to the Presi-
dent through newspaper man, but l
know of no other way of reaching him
and those shout him. Surely you recall
my attempts with the friends of Mr.. Man
mig and their fruits, and l DO not feel
I :. Ould take the same chances
n thi, matter. am personally
9ipprised OF the Presidents condition, and
2 -; -ryi1
nDt be long before there will be reason
iDr alarm. President Cleveland is q large,
heshy man, and siLce he came TO the
White House mas gained enormously in
flesh. Now, when De was in Buffalo it was
his habit to take walks. Since he came
here he has abandoned all form of
exercise save carriage riding. That is Of
little or no use with the springs now in
use and the smooth streets for which
Washington is famous. The President is
4 man who works with his head q great
deal, is in fact IN intense brain worker.
He is in other words a plOdder, and mis-
brain is consequently filled with an
excess of blood What is the
result? He works with his head,
e,ES enormously, and fails TO
exercise MS muscles. His blood YES
sells are weakened, and it is only d Ques-
ton of time when in moment Of excite
ment he bursts q hood vessel ! tell YCu
ST the rate President Cleveland is now
living there Is great danger ne will not
live throughout his term. Something
should be done 10 bring him to realize his
danger and take proper steps 10
prevent the result which will surely
ensue if he fails to take proper exercise.
What | should recommend would be the
fixing up Of q room in the White House
and the setting apart Of half hour
every day for gymnssuc exercise. That
alone, in my opinion, will prevent a
catastrophe, the avoidance of which not
only the President but the country st
large is interested in securing.
